One Nation, One Privacy Law: GOP Introduces Federal Privacy Legislation

Short summary

HR 8413 (SECURE Data Act) proposes a federal privacy standard preempting state laws, granting consumers rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data, and restricting targeted advertising. Controllers and data brokers face new compliance obligations, with special protections for children and teens. The bill would create uniform privacy obligations across the U.S.

  • HR 8413 establishes federal privacy baseline preempting state laws
  • Grants consumer rights: access, correct, delete, port data; opt out of ads/sale/profiling
  • Requires controller/processor data security and FTC registration for brokers; special rules for youth
